I updated to the 10.10 release candidate and this issue is resolved. For the record, kernel info is 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Bruce Kearns (brkearns67) ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Dell Inspiron 14R - N4010. Running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx currently at 2.6.32-25. The synaptics touchpad is failing to be recognized by udev as a touchpad during boot, thus the ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD environment variable is not being set. The end result is the touchpad is being configured as a pointer under evdev (evdev pointer catchall) instead of a touchpad using the synaptics driver. This bug is more than likely a kernel bug and not a synaptics driver bug. - --- + --- Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 DkmsStatus: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100429) MachineType: Dell Inc.
